Comments on: Placing the cornerstone for The new Tar Pit http://thetarpit.org/2016/the-new-tarpit "Now I feel like I know less about what that blog is about than I did before."

Had I put in the effort to formalize it a bit, it could have made for a decent spec of a blog software, that could have encompassed most of Wordpress, that is, save for all the dead weight lying around devoid of any purpose. And from there on -- Hakyll, Common Lisp or PHP would have made very little difference as far as I'm concerned. I guess it's a bit of an irony that I eventually reverted to <a href="http://thetarpit.org/2019/welcome-to-the-tar-pit" rel="nofollow">Wordpress</a> as the solution to that <a href="http://thetarpit.org/2014/maybe-i-was-wrong-about-that-commenting-thing" rel="nofollow">commenting thing</a>, but either way, I don't really have any plans to move away from this in the next two decades or so.
